cursorily
In passing glance
Cursorily means in a hasty, superficial manner—without careful attention to detail.
Someone who reads a document cursorily skims it rather than studying it closely: He cursorily glanced at the contract before signing.
The word implies insufficient thoroughness, often with a hint of negligence.
